- ;;; Commentary:
-
- ;; Purpose:
- ;;
- ;; To make efficient regexps from lists of strings.
-
- ;; For example:
- ;;
- ;; (let ((strings '("cond" "if" "while" "let\\*?" "prog1" "prog2" "progn"
- ;; "catch" "throw" "save-restriction" "save-excursion"
- ;; "save-window-excursion" "save-match-data"
- ;; "unwind-protect" "condition-case" "track-mouse")))
- ;; (concat "(" (make-regexp strings t)))
- ;;
- ;; => "(\\(c\\(atch\\|ond\\(\\|ition-case\\)\\)\\|if\\|let\\*?\\|prog[12n]\\|save-\\(excursion\\|match-data\\|restriction\\|window-excursion\\)\\|t\\(hrow\\|rack-mouse\\)\\|unwind-protect\\|while\\)"
- ;;
- ;; To search for the above regexp takes about 70% of the time as for the simple
- ;; (concat "(\\(" (mapconcat 'identity strings "\\|") "\\)") regexp.
- ;;
- ;; Obviously, the more the similarity between strings, the faster the regexp:
- ;;
- ;; (make-regexp '("abort" "abs" "accept" "access" "array" "begin" "body" "case"
- ;; "constant" "declare" "delay" "delta" "digits" "else" "elsif"
- ;; "entry" "exception" "exit" "function" "generic" "goto" "if"
- ;; "others" "limited" "loop" "mod" "new" "null" "out" "subtype"
- ;; "package" "pragma" "private" "procedure" "raise" "range"
- ;; "record" "rem" "renames" "return" "reverse" "select"
- ;; "separate" "task" "terminate" "then" "type" "when" "while"
- ;; "with" "xor"))
- ;;
- ;; => "a\\(b\\(ort\\|s\\)\\|cce\\(pt\\|ss\\)\\|rray\\)\\|b\\(egin\\|ody\\)\\|c\\(ase\\|onstant\\)\\|d\\(e\\(clare\\|l\\(ay\\|ta\\)\\)\\|igits\\)\\|e\\(ls\\(e\\|if\\)\\|ntry\\|x\\(ception\\|it\\)\\)\\|function\\|g\\(eneric\\|oto\\)\\|if\\|l\\(imited\\|oop\\)\\|mod\\|n\\(ew\\|ull\\)\\|o\\(thers\\|ut\\)\\|p\\(ackage\\|r\\(agma\\|ivate\\|ocedure\\)\\)\\|r\\(a\\(ise\\|nge\\)\\|e\\(cord\\|m\\|names\\|turn\\|verse\\)\\)\\|s\\(e\\(lect\\|parate\\)\\|ubtype\\)\\|t\\(ask\\|erminate\\|hen\\|ype\\)\\|w\\(h\\(en\\|ile\\)\\|ith\\)\\|xor"
- ;;
- ;; To search for the above regexp takes less than 60% of the time of the simple
- ;; mapconcat equivalent.
- ;;
- ;; But even small regexps may be worth it:
- ;;
- ;; (make-regexp '("and" "at" "do" "end" "for" "in" "is" "not" "of" "or" "use"))
- ;; => "a\\(nd\\|t\\)\\|do\\|end\\|for\\|i[ns]\\|not\\|o[fr]\\|use"
- ;;
- ;; as this is 10% faster than the mapconcat equivalent.
-
- ;; Installation:
- ;;
- ;; (autoload 'make-regexp "make-regexp"
- ;; "Return a regexp to match a string item in STRINGS.")
- ;;
- ;; (autoload 'make-regexps "make-regexp"
- ;; "Return a regexp to REGEXPS.")
- ;;
- ;; Since these functions were written to produce efficient regexps, not regexps
- ;; efficiently, it is probably not a good idea to in-line too many calls in
- ;; your code, unless you use the following neat trick with `eval-when-compile':
- ;;
- ;; (defvar definition-regexp
- ;; (let ((regexp (eval-when-compile
- ;; (make-regexp '("defun" "defsubst" "defmacro" "defalias"
- ;; "defvar" "defconst" "defadvice") t))))
- ;; (concat "^(" regexp)))
- ;;
- ;; The `byte-compile' code will be as if you had defined the variable thus:
- ;;
- ;; (defvar definition-regexp
- ;; "^(\\(def\\(a\\(dvice\\|lias\\)\\|const\\|macro\\|subst\\|un\\|var\\)\\)")
-
- ;; Feedback:
- ;;
- ;; Originally written for font-lock, from an idea from Stig's hl319.
- ;; Please don't tell me that it doesn't produce optimal regexps; I know that
- ;; already. But (ideas or) code to improve things (are) is welcome. Please
- ;; test your code and tell me the speed up in searching an appropriate buffer.
- ;;
- ;; Please send me bug reports, bug fixes, and extensions, etc.

- ;; History:
- ;;
- ;; 1.00--1.01:
- ;; - Made `make-regexp' take `lax' to force top-level parentheses.
- ;; - Fixed `make-regexps' for MATCH bug and new `font-lock-keywords'.
- ;; - Added `unfontify' to user timing functions.
- ;; 1.01--1.02:
- ;; - Made `make-regexp' `let' a big `max-lisp-eval-depth'.
-
- ;; The basic idea is to find the shortest common non-"" prefix each time, and
- ;; squirrel it out. If there is no such prefix, we divide the list into two so
- ;; that (at least) one half will have at least a one-character common prefix.
-
- ;; In addition, we (a) delay the addition of () parenthesis as long as possible
- ;; (until we're sure we need them), and (b) try to squirrel out one-character
- ;; sequences (so we can use [] rather than ()).
-
- ;;; Code:
-
- (defun make-regexp (strings &optional paren lax)
- "Return a regexp to match a string item in STRINGS.
- If optional PAREN non-nil, output regexp parentheses around returned regexp.
- If optional LAX non-nil, don't output parentheses if it doesn't require them.
- Merges keywords to avoid backtracking in Emacs' regexp matcher."
